Camden is disbanding it's 250 man force and will rehire half 125 for the metro force, so where do the other 275 officers for the metro force come from? Who is paying for them and what current duties will they foresake to make up for the missing 125 officers from the current Camden force? How does this make sense to anyone?

The fire service sleeps on the clock all of the time, but they call it rehab. My question is was the officer due back to work his regular tour at 17:00 or was he going to be off duty when the side job was finished. How many hours is an officer allowed to work in Trenton? After 14 hrs is a 1 hour rehab enough? Was he still at the const site scene waiting for PSE&G or who ever? If so than he was still protecting the site and should not be sleeping.

The quote was “not being as helpful as investigators would have liked’ and the prosecutor makes that un- cooperative. Maybe the investigators were not being as competent as the victim’s family liked. Didn’t they say at first that it may have been suicide? I read where one son was under indictment so the police shouldn’t question him without his lawyer present in the first place

How come the county doesn't dispatch fire mutual aid? Why doesn't the county use the tax money that they get from the towns & cities already? The county has that big dispatch center but no 9-1-1 calls go there for the county police so if towns didn't have lines forwarded they (UC) would not be a 9-1-1 center.

In July 07 he was arrested for 5 bank jobs, how was he out already in Sept 2011 to rob 7 more banks? Make the punishment fit the crime, if he faces 20 yrs for these 7 jobs what was he facing for the first 5 jobs?. I guess the supervised released wasn't that supervised. How come it took the Feds 4 months to figue out it was a recently released 5 time Union County bank robber doing these new bank robberies in Union County?

Tina doesn't have a clue. Who does she think should investigate? If they farmed it out she would be screaming about the county not doing their job. Tina complains about waste in govt but her silly suits cost taxpayer money too.

Horn honking, loud music in cars, double parking and low rider jeans are the main problems and gangs are the afterthought. Gangs can't be too much of a problem. EPD does a pretty damn good job keeping the lid on things in a large city.

Mike, what are you basing your"it's a clean shoot" on were you at the scene. Was the trooper that fired the same guy fired upon? On the TV interview the NJSP spokesperson didn't make it seem that way but he was being way too vague.

A law enforcement officer is not justified to use deadly force because someone “ignored commands”. Since they are saying that the suspect fired rounds during the chase but not that he was armed at the time of the shooting in Brick than no weapon was recovered. Did the initial MV stop justify the pursuit according to the AG guidelines? Since they are being vague it would lead one to suspect that no it was not. If the trooper used bad judgment, don’t try and justify it with a cover-up that just makes all police involved shootings more suspect. I wasn’t at the scene and can only base my opinion on the article and TV news.

unauthorized caravans, how about all of them if they are unsafe. How many authorized unlawful caravans are there each year? Who can authorize reckless driving and for what reason? Did these troopers work security at the Giants games? Why do state troopers work extra duty jobs at the meadowlands? Maybe there should be a civilian review board for NJSP i they can't or won't police themselves.

Isn’t it the job of the county clerk’s office to check these petitions for their veracity? Why get your shorts in a twist because they/she is doing the job. Didn’t this slate of candidates file at the last possible moment, could they have been trying to sneak these invalid signatures through? It would be nice to know if the position of county counsel is one of the govt. employees prohibited from running for elected office under the Hatch Act? Would Ms. Bercik have to vacate her position if she is elected? Is the lawyer for the plaintive saying that if forms are inaccurate because they are incomplete, that should be overlooked?

I call myself a long suffering Giants fan, though the suffering hasn’t been too bad lately. I root for the Giants and anybody playing Dallas. Even though I find the Jets owner a bozo and the coach a blowhard, I would still like to see the local team succeed. How exciting was the 2000 subway series, a Giants vs. Jets super bowl would be as big as a Manning bowl. Tim Tebow has been a winner throughout his football career and he is a man of character, unlike many NFL players he puts the team first. Yes this signing grabs headlines, but it brings things to the Jets that were lacking, things like character, toughness and the will to win. The Giant organization already has these intangibles ingrained, so the Jets would do well to copy from the success of their big brother.

@ unionrepublican; Semantics, if I give you something and in return you give me something, it could be labeled many different things. In politics it is often called “quid pro quo”, I used the term buy because I want to know how much Christie will pay, and this will tell me how important it is to him to control 2 of the 3 branches of government. Also if he offered a lot and the Dems held firm, then that tells me something about their resolve. The Dems sidestepped a GOP landmine by replacing someone with many minority constituents with someone that would not suffer at the polls with a NO vote. Not only did Christie lose the vote he was out smarted and schooled by craftier lawmakers. As a bully Christie has no savvy and can’t win a fair fight. Christie winning the election was as simple as ABC (anybody but Corzine) faced with a good opponent and the bully will crash and burn. I call Christie a bully because like all bullies when he loses he cries like a baby. I noticed that strike 2 & 3, character and party affiliation weren’t disputed.

What I find reprehensible is that Christie tried to buy the votes needed. It would be interesting to find out what was offered and how much the Guv. was willing to give. If the Kwon family did nothing wrong why did they pay $160k? Did Christie & Kwon really think people would believe he was an Independent after 10yrs with the GOP? So the Guv. puts up a shady nomination, tried to buy the confirmation and lied about his party affiliation, that is 3 strikes you’re out.

One or two nwk cops with NYPD and NPD didn't know what was going on? Twice a month meetings and the FBI didn't know what was going on? Why does the media continue to call good proactive police work spying? Didn't this police work save american lives? Booker and Christie are lying to save face and get votes, they are not interested in public safety they want to get re-elected.

The FBI Director knows and states that NYPD is doing the right things but the local FBI agent in charge is spinning the issue to cover his backside, send him to pudunk USA. Cody is making future opponents look bad too. If we handcuff the police the bad guys win!
